Everything we know about Showtime's 'Twin Peaks' revival

PASADENA, California - While Showtime has kept many details of its upcoming "Twin Peaks" revival series close to the vest, it did discuss some new details at the Television Critics Association press tour on Monday.

More than 25 years ago in 1990, "Twin Peaks," a mysterious story set in a quaint Northwestern town rocked by a shocking murder, premiered. Created by David Lynch and Mark Frost, the series only ran for two seasons but went on to become a cult hit.

As if fans weren't already excited about what to expect from the show, Showtime Networks President and CEO David Nevins described the upcoming David Lynch series in glowing terms.

"I think the 'Twin Peaks' you're going to see is the pure heroin of David Lynch and I'm very excited to be putting that out," Nevins said after announcing that Showtime had finally set a May 21 premiere date for the series.

In a surprise twist on Monday, Lynch, who wasn't previously announced as part of the show's panel, made an appearance at the press tour and got a chance to respond to Nevins' earlier statement on the series.

"I hear heroin is a very popular drug these days," Lynch joked.
